Message from the Parish Priest

Dear Parishioners,

It brings me great joy and a sense of coming home to return to St. Francis Xavier's Church as your parish priest. This return is especially poignant as we prepare to celebrate the centennial of our beloved church.

The rich legacy of our church stands as a testament to the unwavering faith, commitment, and love of our community. As we embark on this significant journey together, I am deeply thankful for the opportunity to lead our spiritual path. Let us continue to grow in faith and unity, honoring our past while looking forward to a hopeful future.

In today’s world, where human efforts can achieve incredible things, social media offers us a new way to share our achievements with the wider community. As we reflect on the promise of Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope,” we can see how these promises relate to the growth of our parish.

Our church website provides detailed information about our parish, showcases our various activities, and creates new opportunities for spiritual growth and community involvement. Stay updated on future events and get involved in our church community through our website.

Thank you for your ongoing support and prayers. May God bless us as we prepare to celebrate our centennial and look forward to the future.

With warmest thanks and blessings,

Fr. Michael Suresh,
Parish Priest, St. Francis Xavier's Church,
Pallavaram, Chennai.
